Hollister Nurse-In

So tomorrow at 3pm nation wide there is a nurse in at Hollister clothing store. A lady was nursing her child OUTSIDE the store on a bench when a manager came out and yelled at her - telling her to leave.

I saw this on another board I creep on - as I can only be apart of this one. You ladies are the best!
And a good idea I saw on that post from a girl who FF but wants to be apart of it bc she supports NIP is going to feed her LO under a cover bc nobody will ever know she's using formula.

I live in mn. Any ladies around the country going? Any ladies in MN going??

Public protests are pretty common and have been pretty effective if you go by history. Look at the civil rights movement. Look at women's suffrage. If you don't agree don't participate. I wouldn't waste your time crying over poor bullied hollister however.

And while you may have thought a kiss in at chik fila was dumb you are also a straight woman not being discriminated against. It may not have done anything other then male the participants feel better and honestly when you are facing prejudice maybe that's a good thing.

And who is to say it didn't do anything. Look how much someone like Rosa parks accomplished with one small act. :)

Sidebar: I was at the mall last week and Hollister had two employees out in front of their store -- some guy in just a pair of jeans, no shirt... and a girl in some skimpy dress. It was weird. Especially weird because it's like 15 degrees here (granted they were inside the mall, but still).

I was at the mall last week as well and our Abercrombie and Fitch also had a guy standing out in front with just swim trunks on, no shirt. The girl standing with him had their usual skimpy, skank attire on. I thought it was really innapropriate.

So what if he didn't "break a law?" What he did was uncalled for. Mothers should be able to nourish their babies in public free of comments or ridicule. As a country, we have sexualized breasts to the point where they are not recognized for their intended purpose, breastfeeding, and this needs to be changed.

I won't be able to go to one, but I fully support this and the women that are going. To say this will do nothing or will harm the breastfeeding in public movement is crazy. It's about time that the general public become more accepting of NIP so that we no longer have to be worried that someone may be offended by us feeding our children.

I feel like Aeriel could force them into an apology on her own. She scares me. In a good way.
And as an "attorney" razorbackgirl I am especially ashamed of your flat out lack of respect in this subject and I am furthermore ashamed of your feelings about a nurse in. As an "attorney" I'm sure you know about the OUTSTANDING effect of sit-ins, ride-ins, and dine-ins throught African American history.

I've kind of wondered of these kind of NIP rally's if you will make people think breastfeeding moms, which I am x6 kids and I nurse into toddlerhood, are whacky.... I'd hate to think it makes peopel think we are a bunch of nuts.
